Carrie Preston’s Sitcom Picked Up by NBC

Carrie Preston is heading back to TV with a primetime gig on NBC. The network announced today that it ordered 13 episodes of the new sitcom Crowded, which co-stars Carrie Preston, for the 2015-2016 season.

Official synopsis:

No more sex, booze, and paying the bills naked. After 20 years of parenting, empty nesters Mike (Patrick Warburton, “Seinfeld”) and Martina (Carrie Preston, “True Blood”) are finally reclaiming their wild side. Yet when both of their two grown daughters unexpectedly move back in, and Mike’s parents scratch their plans to spend their golden years in Florida, their roost is full again. From executive producer Sean Hayes, this new (and very timely) family comedy proves that life is crazy with a full house, especially the second time around.

The cast includes Patrick Warburton, Carrie Preston, Stacy Keach, Carlease Burke, Mia Serafino and Miranda Cosgrove.

Suzanne Martin serves as writer and executive producer. Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner also executive produce. James Burrows will direct. “Crowded” is produced by Universal Television and Hazy Mills Productions.

We can expect more information about when the series will air when NBC announces the new fall schedule next week.
